The camera has been in operation almost two weeks now and is pretty reliable. Occasionally, the streaming service has glitches, and shows only a black screen. Also, the camera is rebooted occasionally (a 3 minute downtime), so that new parameters can take effect. Finally, the stream doesn't seem to work on Kindle Fire devices and sometimes gets cranky on Androids. Windows and iPad/Phones work well. The biggest problem is the frame rate. If anyone has pull at TWC, the project needs the top business class service to be more than 5 Mbps upload speed. 50/5 service sounds fast, unless you are trying to upload a 24x7 HD video stream. 2/10 would be fine.

PM me if you have technical issues that you want checked. If it isn't working, reload your browser tab or try again after a few minutes.
